How long will McCarthy last as speaker? What will the “Freedom Caucus” insurrectionists actually do with their oversized power? How much destruction will they wreak on our country? How much damage will Republicans do to themselves? Share your thoughts after the jump.
I’ve been unable to turn off the news today. I had two posts planned that I never got to. So, I’m posting this as an open thread.
Share your thoughts and observations below.

It’s a phyrrhic victory. Oh, McCarthy has the title. But he has little actual power. He had to give it away to get the votes needed. It’s all about priorities. We are about to see just how much clout Gaetz, Greene and others have.
